Great speech, indeed. Very forceful.
As a Presidential candidate, Giuliani has his problems. He was never pro-life, for instance. But I greatly admired the job he did as Mayor, and his pro-abortion stance didn’t matter much then, since it was the Governor and legislature who decided that question in the city, not the Mayor.
Think Mussolini-lite. But that's what that shiiteburger of a town needed (still does)not some namby-pamby give-away artist like the look-at-me-proudly-married-to-a-black-lesbo anus-obama-lover they have now.
Rudy took over at a NYC public safety low point when a whole lot of non-caucasian teeth needed to be in the street, as they often seem to do. He handled that through his Police Commissioner (of whom he was jealous and drove from office, but they got a '0' tolerance for any crime on the street) Hell, he even busted the Mob, for which his own daddy once broke legs! The streets were clean and quiet. Traffic was better, The garbage was picked up. The place worked. Rudy's way, or the Highway, Pal. "Foxtrot Oscar, babe, I'm running this town." Run it he did and very, very nicely, too.
However, once the town was again safe for human habitation, the Liberal elite turned on Rudy like rabid dogs. The NYT readers who run the place simply cannot stand anyone who is politically incorrect to the point that the Rev. Al Sharpton is angry. That's where this "racist" crap is coming from. Look at it this way. If 9/11 hadn't happened, New York's Jewish Liberal Elite, who detest the white working class Catholics who make NYC at least somewhat functional, would have hung Rudy in the gorilla cage at the Central Park Zoo!
O yeah. One more thing. His personal life is a mess. He dumped a nasty, but otherwise perfectly good old lady for a young politically motivated hustler chippy who wanted a better job!
Rudy for Prexy? Nah. He's not ever going to sell in Idaho. He's the kind of guy you want running your town, if you want results, and are prepared to do exactly as he says.
Rudy? Think Buddy Cianci up in Providence ... but without the charm. After Buddy got his town in shape, they threw him in jail. At least Rudy is free and gets paid for speeches!
